The tree was too tall and we had to cut off the bottom. My sweet sister-in-law cut off the branches and made these awesome swags for me.

Did you notice the packages under the tree? They're our 12 days of Christmas presents. I've used the same wrapping paper for years and ran out last year. I had to come up with a new look and love how these turned out. I used my Silhouette to make the tags. I love that machine.

that is so awesome that you were in NYC for Thanksgiving and went to the parade! I lived there for five years but never once went to the parade. I guess I was too wimpy to sit out in the cold. I SO regret it now that I don't live there anymore!

Your home looks beautiful! I love your tree and I can totally relate to the redecorate-the-tree-once-the-kids-are-asleep thing!

i miss you too! i know you are a busy woman and that your family comes first (as they should!) but I do hope you will be able to blog more next year. you are missed!!
